20 minutes from San Francisco: A room by the Golden Gate Bridge

6PM:  Cavallo Point is so close to the city, you could walk across the Golden Gate for a glass of bubbly on the porch, where rocking chairs and couches are positioned for a view of those red towers jutting above the Marin Headlands.

This WWI-era Army base turned luxe lodge has an Ultimate Date Night Package that―when you break it down―is quite a deal: $450 buys a four-course dinner for two at the elegant Murray Circle; breakfast the next morning; parking; and a room with a fireplace, original pressed-tin ceilings, and a front-row seat to the San Francisco skyline.

Plus, free yoga in the former base chapel and hikes around Marin County in between. Ultimate Date Night Package from $450; 415/339-4700.
